Joel Lange, managing director at Acuris Risk Intelligence commented on the new partnership: “This collaboration will allow organisations to improve due diligence workflow processes through FinScan’s automated screening platform. With due diligence in the spotlight now more than ever, effective and comprehensive technologies will be key to staying on top of changing regulations.”
To address the ever-increasing demands on compliance professionals, Acuris Risk Intelligence and FinScan bring a deeper understanding, better workflows and higher precision to customer due diligence operations. By integrating Acuris Risk Intelligence sanction, PEP, source of wealth and adverse media data into FinScan, the two provide an increased level of transparency to clients in determining whether or not they need to act on highly suspicious activity.
“Automation is essential to enable regulated entities to step up their due diligence procedures in determining their customers’ legitimacy”, said Craig Robertson, FinScan’s managing director of the UK, MEA and APAC. “Our new collaboration with Acuris Risk Intelligence provides an additional level of clarity to our clients’ due diligence processes.”
